If A9LH is working, there's nothing wrong with FIRM. It's supposed to be corrupted, that's what A9LH does.
that clears up a lot, thanks, i can also write to sysnand since i can install custom font's and they work and i can also write with hard mod, i can also disclude my nand backups since they all work as emunand's, it's neither the cfw since i've used luma and others like mizuki and cakes and they all do the same when booting sysnand

As was said by @Dennis G it's got nothing to do with whatever NAND you flash back onto the sysNAND. Once it dies, it doesn't seem to be able to be resurrected - whether that's by design because AL9H is blocking it or whether it's because it is physically corrupted. But, I think what's happening is that there are bugs/quirks that A9LH has because it's still relatively new. I'm sure the answers will become clearer in the future, but it seems as though if you come across this problem/phenomenon, your 3DS will either only be able to boot emuNAND in Dennis G's case, or like in mine, you won't be able to boot anything other than A9LH payloads.

You could try to use ctrbootmanager as payload and manage other stuff like godmode9 + decrypt9 + emunand9 + some other cfw's at the same time to try to get at least somewhat of a firmware running, don't give up yet, try mizuki or cakes or what ever. i've bin though those options but that does not mean it might not work for you though

I've pretty much given up. I think it's more than firmware or software alone. If it was, Recovery mode should actually work. But it doesn't. Also, I find no reason why an sysNAND of my exact system cloned to emuNAND before it stopped booting wouldn't boot like it does in your case. I think it's a worse case than yours. I think mine is failing some kind of inbuilt diagnostic that isn't allowing it to boot further than A9LH.

wait what? i'm telling someone to not give up and he should not listen to me?

I think what he means is that, there is pretty much no hope, and that you're a lucky/special case. Mine is probably hardware failure. Thanks for your help and time though.

nah-ahh in some version of aureinand aurora disabled the recovery menu because i'd overwrite firm0/1 and therfor cause problems, i think luma blocks the recovery menu, sooooooo not a valid argument :P, man that sucks, i dont like seeing stuff die :P

that's a good one, but ther is also a problem with that, if i update my a9lh to the one that automatic shut's down when no sd inserted it will show succesfull but still not shutdown when no sd inserted so i don't think that the upgrade process is working at least for me, i don't know why, i use the latest safe updater from ctrbootmanager9

I used the latest build of it. Which now grants access to it. But all it does is blank screen, with the orange wifi indicator on.

Actually i'm telling you just to not listen to him, he clearly does not know how A9LH let alone how Emunand works.
If he actually ever managed to clone his Emunand to Sysnand it would be a miracle because after reading his posts he is definitely doing something wrong and i have highly likely idea of what it is


My IQ is dropping when I have to comprehend his posts in this thread.

Actually it was disabled because on N3DS it would actually cause Bricks. You can now access recovery menu again if you get the latest commit

Its got nothing to do with your broken english which I can easily comprehend its the fact that the information you are providing is so wrong on many levels that I am surprised you even managed to even find this sub-section.


Maybe you could share your idea? :rofl:

Most likely he is trying to flash he emunand dumps to sysnand which doesnt work.

He has to do the normal method (in which there are guide for)

Put these files in the "a9lh" folder on root
Put SafeA9LHInstaller's "arm9loaderhax.bin" on root
Turn on 3DS
Press select (Doesn't matter if it has a black screen)
Hard-Restart
If you can see the screen - then you're not bricked anymore

Mostlikely you're completly wrong. so eat on that.
i've SYSnand backup's starting from 9.2 up to 10.3 and only 10.3 and above are from emunand, and i've restored every single nand backup i have using decrypt + hard mod ALSO ALL OF THE SYSNAND ONE"S INCLUDING 2.1, none of them worked and if you have problems understanding my english then it might be your english that lacks skills. because i might make mistakes but my english is perfectly understandable.
this is further proven by the fact that my thread states that i have the SAME sysnand 9.2 running that was working before i had to restore with hard mod...

whats the problem.png so this is what you call "Failing at english"? yeah that is absolutly terrible. no one will ever be able to decrypt what i said because all of those HUGE mistakes..
Edit: I'm Dying at the moment, this guy...
"Margen67yea will ppl stop bitching about the wii u scene lredy its great1!1!"
But telling me that i failed my english classes HAHAH
